COB - I have to agree that Amy did lots of thinking "outside the box" but once it's all figured out, it starts to make sense!

I think that balloon is pretty neat myself. And now that we all know you want altered letters of your name...your next partner very well may run with that idea and add to your ballooned "O". Before you know it, you will have an amazing set of conversation pieces!

I also like the way she spelled out JOY, but that's all I can say on that until my SS receives her own swap box.

good job Amy and enjoy your box of goodies, COB!

and now I see that that is a butterfly, COB has it upside down. What she thought were legs are instead the antennae! lol How silly we all can be sometimes....

Don't mean to sound rude, but I can't tell what the fruit item is?? A plaque with a verse on it or altered notebook or what?

The banner idea is real cute too - pictures instead of spelling out a word.

Enjoy it all Kathy!

The fruit was get well cards.She also made me a ton of Christmas tags they are cute and will get usedand of course the man cards.Her banner was adorable and is hanging on my wall in LR. I also loved her feminine charm allot as I have trouble making charms now. Really everything was lovely and Iam grateful to have had an awesome partner.

Sorry I am not commenting more on everyones goodies, I am just kinda rushed these days.Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas too!HugsKathy

I have been trying to catch up on all the boxes and all i can say is wow .. what a great job everyone has done..

Gwynne I have to go shopping tonight after work so I won't be home to open my goodies and post pictures. We are still playing catch up at my house with everything that has gone one..

So COB please don't hurt your figures tap tap tapping tonight I will get them up as soon as I get home.. If it was not an hour drive to the closest shopping center i would go home first. LOL but that is not in the cards tonight..

again wonderful boxes everyone and a lot of scraplifting will be going on once again i am sure.

Oh my goodness! I just got the most AH-MAZ-ING box today from Gwynne! Thank you so much! Everything is so beautiful and so me! Thank you again!

Why is it that whenever I have a swap box the mail person is late?! She dropped it off right as I was leaving to pick one of my kids up. I've opened it all and will be taking pictures right now. It may take me a little while with Mom's taxi running and resizing and uploading. Plus my computer is running S-L-O-W today. need to do some clean up on it. But they will be up tonight for sure.

And Ladies.... ABSOLUTELY NO DIBBS!! I'm NOT sharing. No way, no how!!

My SS was Tiffany Thanks you for a super box.Just finished taking pictures of all my goodies but I'm not sure of the order I have them in.My "J" will go in my scraproom for sure!!!!Matches nicely with the walls. I LOVE the tags and the cards! The purse is awesome and I can always use dots and tape refills. The "music sheet" ornament is very original.Thanks again No dibbs ladies!!!!!

The first picture is all of my goodies wrapped.Day 1- A sweet pies and latte mini. Day 2- Handmade holder with fabri-tac glue. Always need this glue!Day 3- An awesome french mini trunk. Love it!Day 4- The most beautiful tear drop ornaments with white feathers inside. If I had seen these in the store I would have bought them!Day 5- Gorgeous banner with ornaments that spell JOY. Love it! And a closeup of the stocking "J".Day 6- Tags with the sweetest little girl stamp.

Day 7- A beachy altered box, glass dolphin ornament and some twineDay 8- Altered tray with a coffe theme. It's going in my kitchen in the coffee corner!Day 9- Altered purse filled with PB Cups. Yum! Love the steampunk theme.Day 10- A cool card envelope with two gorgeous Christmas cards. Need this tutorial!!Day 11- Some great trim/ribbons on awesome tags that I can re-useDay 12- A steampunk vertical banner. Pictures don't do this (or any of the other items)justice!

Gwynne coordinated all of the tags with stamps that went with the directives and didn't color them so I got to have all of the fun coloring them! I can't wait to play!

When I saw the altered container for Jean that holds all those diecut birds....I said to myself that that is TOTALLY Jean! Something about the color combo on that container just reminds me of her! Birdies are so popular that you will find good uses for them on cards, etc.

All the cards and tags you made are very nice Tiffany! Nice job there!

That altered J is very pretty! love the shape of the J. and love how you used part of a doily on the lower portion of the letter with the flowers added on. Very pretty!

DH just got home with my amazing box from Beanies mom ... OMG it's all amazing ... I've taken pictures, but most of them are terrible because the light is too bad ... I'll take them again in the morning and hopefully they will better show my amazing goodies ... Thank you so much Debbie I love it all ... and Gwynne, you can't have my ladybug ... and I got the amazing charm I was admiring earlier today in another thread

Doesn't matter anyway...guess what I did last Sunday while xmas shopping. I came across the prettiest ladybug glass window catcher and so I bought it for myself! So phooey on you Candy! (feel that raspberry splatting at you!)

I will wrap it and put it under the tree from Santa! lol I will have to take a picture of it when I unload packages and get organized. I just couldn't walk away and leave it hanging there....

Look forward to seeing more pics from both Candy and Terri. And is LindaKinkead the only other gal to not have posted pics yet? Have to go check my list!

BTW, have you guys noticed what I did on the first page, 2nd post? I have listed who you received from and on what page. So in future swaps, when you want to easily locate crafts made by that person, you can do it a heck of a lot faster! I have half a notion to go back to the first 2 rounds and do the same thing. I think I listed page number of pics but not who made them for you. That's an important piece of info when we are researching from swap to swap.

Would you believe me if I told you I don't drink coffee ever! I have a silly fear of coffee from childhood croup. I know next to nothing about coffee and can not make a pot of coffee or add sugar or cream for anyone cuz I am clueless! lol

But yet I had so much fun running with the coffee theme for you! (probably cuz it gave me excuse to shop for coffee items...."shop" being the key word there....)

I don't normally do browns either. And I'm totally new at working with steampunk theme! That steampunk stuff grows on you, doesn't it though?

Just amazes me how we venture outside our comfort zones and discover all these enjoyable things within ourselves.

I found those feather glass ornaments at Kohl's as well as the dolphin. After having seen that picture you posted of your color scheme at christmas, I just knew they would be perfect for you!

My only regret: I wish I would have seen that neat way kimmo displayed that charm for Julie as I would have scraplifted immediately and done the same! lol

Scroll down the page and the directions are typed up but it's in small print so you hardly realize they are there! lol

This is not a good picture of the feather ornaments but atleast the girls will know what we are talking about. And had to include a pic of Kim's cherry pie page in the mini! lol I literally found that the day I was making the mini. It just found me! lol I surely had an angel on my shoulder that day helping me out as I was stuck on the fruit item and how I could tie fruit in with the coffee themed mini I wanted to do for Kim!

I was on pins and needles all day yesterday hoping you would get the box. Then you posted you were going shopping! Don't you know how impatient I am. I finally had to go to bed, because I could not stay up all night waiting for you to get home.

I'm glad you like everything. You really need to get that Imagine up and running. I used CCR and the Imagine for the banner and it all came out great.

I hope you're home when they deliver those berries, if not, I hope you have a trusty neighbor!

Bridgette, it's so nice to see that box of projects all in one piece considering how long they were in the postal system. Jeesh!

That camping folder sure should come in handy for you Bridgette! Good place to keep any lists to remind you what you need and/or use it to hold some camping photo memories on some tags. I can see one of the girls stealing it away to hold their pictures too!

Nice supply of tags too!

Real nice job on the lace flowers Denise.

Oh, and the altered frame with the feather will be just precious when Bridgette slides the perfect picture of one of her angels in there! The softness of the feather will really add to the precious smiling face of one of those children!
